Answer:

The correct answer is: No, slurping the soup is not considered as refined.

Explanation:

When sitting in a table to eat with company it is polite and refined to make the  least possible sound in order to avoid irritating the other person or persons and to manifesting a civil and graciously way to eat.

This is the first reason why slurping the soup it is seen as unrefined, for this is an action of soaking a liquid noisily, which is rude because slurping it is literally making noises with your mouth while taking food to your mouth.

But there is a second reason, which is that using<em> cutlery for food</em> in a gracious way it is a manifestation of graciousness and civility for you do not eat like an animal but as a person with manners. So, as soup is not a drink it should not be taken directly from the plate slurping from it (as drinks are taken directly from glasses), but instead it is polite to use a spoon to eat the content of the plate (soup), avoiding drops and sounds that could be rude to companions.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • Important event in ancient greek history.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

All through the story, Odysseus endeavors to win the support of the divine beings and goddess to enable himself to return home, notwithstanding, he meets obstruction and issues, for example, his group murdering the sun god's dairy cattle, which brings about the opposite they wished from the divine beings, prompting the pulverization of Odysseus' teams and ships.  

Epic poems are generally exceptionally long and they contain a few components of genuine history. That is the case of the ballad Elpenor from the Odyssey.

love history [14]

Answer:

NAGAASI means 'stop'.

Explanation:

The word 'NAGAASI' literally means 'to stop'. When it is used on a red sign, it means 'to restrict', 'to prohibit' or 'to stop' an action. When the sign is a traffic sign, then its means to stop motion or prohibit movement.

Context clues are hints around an unfamiliar word or phrase that helps the reader to decipher or understand the meaning of the unfamiliar word.

When the word 'NAGAASI' is placed on a red sign, then the colour of the sign (in this case red), the shape of the sign, as well as the location of the sign are context clues that would help in understanding what the meaning of the word 'NAGAASI'.
